Configuring XFree86 4.0.2 (SuSE 7.1)

This is my first post to this list, so if I'm asking an obvious
question, that's why. Also, I am a newbie at Linux (surprise).

I performed an FTP installation of SuSE 7.1 today. When the install
concluded, I was booted straight to the command line, rather than a
graphical login. After typing startx, I determined that the X Server
had not yet been configured (which makes sense, since I was never
asked which video card and monitor I have).

After running xf86config (seemingly with no problems), I run XFree86
and get the following output:

When reporting a problem to a server crash, please send the full
server output, not just the last messages.
This can be found in the log file "/var/log/XFree86.0.log".
Please report problems to feedback@xxxxxxxx

If I run "startx", I get the following message:

The file XF86_xxxx (binary of X-Server) doesn't seem to be a binary
file. Please check it or / and install a new X-Server-binary.
I'm aborting now.
